Hey all, Taking the plunge into ATS and I'm no longer a lurker!

Finally signed up and started making myself an account after lurking for a while now.
I've spent some evenings on my laptop clicking link after link of all kinds of different threads on ATS and found it quite amazing indeed

May as well say something about myself in the interests of ice-breaking and formalities

I'm a native of West Australia and lived here my whole life. I hail from an ethnic background and love learning about other cultures, and there's no
shortage of multiculturalism in Oz!

I'm also into movies, all things technology, digital media, electronics, computers & gadgets, fishing, anything to do with Android, the world wide
web and last but not least.. BEER!

I'm a keen reader and have a thirst for learning new things that grab my attention like geopolitics, history, the military's and war, fringe science
and cutting edge technology & as of only recently... arcane news & conspiracies. The arcane I like are alien/ET conspiracies and sightings,
astrotheism, cosmology & of course the Illuminati/New World Order.

I've come across ATS in my travels on these topics specifically. I was a regular on "the Truth Behind The Scenes" webpage pretty much all of 2012.
I'm sure ATS members or at least some are aware of it and it was pretty interesting, even with all the fake stuff on there. It's only recently been
taken over by new admins and the regular's such as myself all decided to stop visiting because of the shenanigans taking place.

I decided to become an ATS member after that but also because some of the posts I've come across on ATS have been fantastic and the community of
members seem so diverse, knowledgeable and interesting I know I'm in for rewarding discussions with some of the fine folk here

I already know what my first thread will be about and it will focus on my take on the Disclosure Via TV/Films & Video games but I've got a wealth of
things I'd like to post about. After the probation and 20 replies of course.
(This intro post counts right? So 19 to go!)

I was also wondering if someone could point me to a thread where there are good examples of different types of text being used by a member or if
there's a help thread for using the different fonts. I used the search function but didn't have any luck, I'm still reading the threads for new
members but haven't come across font usage just yet. Please and thank you

A long winded intro, sorry about that. Looking forward to my ATS experience.

hi, man.. i am also a neewbie but welcome!! australia rock`s! wish i could visit it sometime, all the cool lizards and stuff, well just saying hello,
sorry but i cant help with computer thingies i am a complete tool with them. its a good thing that here are more intelligent people around. happy
hunting!

But there's pretty interesting critters out in the bush.
Contrary to popular belief Australia does have cities and suburbs! And we don't always ride Kangaroos when we need to get around! Haha

Should definitely visit sometime its good for tourists, I'm in Perth but I'd recommend Melbourne or Sydney to any potential traveler

That's ok about the computer things. I'm not that great myself but use trial and error for most things computer related if I get stuck. I did find a
thread on BB Code which changes a lot of different text options in your posts and profile.
You can check this out if you're interested A Guide to BB Code on ATS.

I found it very useful, other than that all the relevant info is here, its just a matter of sifting through the threads. The search function was quite
handy

Thanks for the useful threads much appreciated. I'm quite amazed as to the customization and wealth of info on ATS. I'm still getting my head around
it but I'm very impressed so far. A friend of mine told me a while ago that ATS is "just a forum and that's all it is"..

One of the best forums I've ever come across in my time that's for sure. I'm going to need the first month just to figure out where everything is
and what not to do etc.

You've posted over 3,000 times LiveForever8? Incredible. Take me a while to get there!

Try Ask ATS to find numerous threads to add your thoughts to now. Once a minimum of 20 posts are made,
you'll be able to create your own threads & send out messages to fellow ATS members.

***Keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun & help us
"Deny Ignorance"***

ATS is at times like a rollercoaster ride! As a new member be aware if one acts in an uncivil-like manner, discusses personal illicit drug usage, uses
profanity, is a troll, intentionally spreads a hoax, spam's, advertises and/or get's verbally abusive, they will be warned or removed off the ride
by a Moderator. If you see posted any of the above mentioned, please let staff know by using the "Alert" function. This will help keep the
community, both young and old to further enjoy the ride with you.

Thanks for the pleasantries, the ride has begun ! I think I'm already skipper on the ship of awesome insanity

I can see myself popping in daily quite easily but I'm still sussing everything out at the moment, its a lot to take in but I'm up for it.

You like the avatar hey, I thought it looked cool. It's Ra's al Ghul from the Batman comics

I've got plenty to say about the Brotherhood Nat, or Illuminati.. so many allegiances and deals done between these characters and organizations it's
hard to pinpoint them all which gives a lot of anonymity. Not a cool bunch of people in my view even though some members would disagree.

A few of them stand out in particular but I'll save it for when I create a few threads so I can go all out !

Look forward to a solid brain workout the next few weeks that's for sure!
I guess I don't need a moderator as yet unless I've done something outside of the terms which I don't think I have.
Looks like most of the help info is just waiting to be found really

But still going through a lot of the beginners threads so I hope I don't make a fool of myself in the meantime
